More than 100 people have died and scores more have been hospitalised after drinking toxc moonshine in northern India.

Methanol is a byproduct of alcohol, if it was moonshine whoever produced it didn't remove the start of the run, called the heads as this is where the majority of the methanol is found, watch moonshiners and perhaps you will have some kind of knowledge instead of scaremongering

甲醇是酿酒的副产物。

看看那些非法酿酒的商人，你就知道怎么一回事了
